Al-Marsad Newspaper: Dentist Yelena Martynova revealed that chewing gum for more than three minutes on a regular basis may cause various health problems, including stomach inflammation and erosion, misaligned teeth, and malocclusion.

The doctor said in an interview with Gazeta.Ru. Gum is a rubbery, inedible substance to which flavorings and sweeteners are added, such as: cane sugar, beet sugar, corn syrup, and aromatic substances.

She explained that the most dangerous types of gum are those that contain sugar, because they help multiply the bacteria that cause tooth decay and cause bacterial imbalance in the oral cavity and disturbances in the digestive system.

She pointed out that by chewing gum, saliva secretion increases greatly because the brain considers it food. If chewing continues for more than three minutes, the stomach secretes a large amount of hydrochloric acid and gastric juice. If this habit becomes regular and the person chews gum several times a day, this may lead to increased acidity, gastritis and gastritis, in addition to headaches in people prone to migraine attacks.
